Irishia Hubbard is the inaugural recipient of the Donald McKayle Scholarship

Donald McKayle, a legendary choreographer and UC Irvine Emeritus Professor, has generously provided a scholarship for UCI Dance majors. Reflecting the extraordinary creative talent and character that Donald McKayle has brought to modern dance in the USA, The Donald McKayle Scholarship seeks applicants that have a strong technical command of modern dance, vivid artistic and choreographic voice that speaks to the human condition articulated through a definite approach to musicality. The inaugural scholarship was awarded to Irishia Hubbard (BFA 2016). She is in her senior year, completing her double major in Choreography and Education.
